“Stepping off the main road, the genuine warmth of the welcome sets the tone, with staff readily attentive to every detail. Rooms here present a clean, comfortable sanctuary, with thoughtful touches like ample charging points and well-lit workspaces proving particularly useful. The real standout, however, is the breakfast - a thoroughly enjoyable start to the day, and a significant bonus given the overall value.”
